The subject builds on the skills and knowledge students have gained at Physics or Science Cambridge IGCSE level (or a class of equivalent level). The course covers fundamental theoretical concepts, current applications of physics and an emphasis on advanced practical skills.
Students focus on understanding and researching Physics topics including Astrophysics, Medical Physics, and Applied Physics. It introduces students to in-depth knowledge such as circular motion, gravity fields, thermal properties, vibrations, ultrasound, electric fields, capacitance, sensor electric, magnetic field, alternating current, etc…
The subject focuses on the concepts and applications of physical ideas in various contexts as well as expanding students’ knowledge.
